Your Homeowners' Membership Helps Build The Community

Last year's progress at Wendy's Meadow Park
How does a $10 membership fee become a new park?

The $10 annual BCHA membership is utilized as leverage to secure additional public and private funding that is then used to help us to complete existing projects and host community events.  Every dollar of your BCHA membership goes directly back into your community.

The BCHA has used the last of its membership holdings to secure the ongoing development at Wendy's Meadow Park on Melanson Lane.  This summer, excavation and landscaping work will continue toward making the park functional for all sorts of outdoor activities!

It's time to replenish our funds with this year's membership drive.  Although we have kept a relatively low profile when advertising our successes, your Homeowners Association volunteers work diligently throughout the year and meet monthly on your behalf to:
  • coordinate community events (we're ready for the indoor yard sale Saturday, May 28, 2016!)
  • help keep the community informed and involved (1461 Facebook members and growing!)
  • support local businesses with free advertising (Markting Mondays on our Facebook group)
  • develop and maintain 6 local parks (2016 updates at the AGM Wed. Apr. 13, 7pm, PRCC!)
  • act as advocates for our community (e.g. park funding, road clearing, school bus safety, etc.)
Whether you live inside or outside of Brookside, we appreciate your support!  It's a new year and we are now collecting $10 membership dues per household for 2016 (of course, larger donations are welcome!). If you live outside of the Brookside boundaries, you will receive an honorary membership for showing your support.

You can support us by obtaining your membership using any of the following methods:
  • send an email money transfer for $10 to our treasurer
  • mail a cheque for $10 to our treasurer
  • drop off a cheque for $10 to our treasurer

If sending an email transfer:
  • use your own bank's email money transfer system
  • send the $10 transfer to our account at info@bcha.ca
    • in the note section, include your name and indicate that these funds are for your BCHA membership for 2016
  • send a separate email with the security word that we will need to accept your transfer
    • you must include your name, address, email address and phone number in this message so that we can process your membership and issue an email receipt

If sending a cheque in the mail:
  • make the cheque payable to Brookside Community Homeowner's Association
  • use the memo field to note that these funds are for your BCHA membership for 2016
  • ensure that your name, address, email address and phone number are with your cheque so that we can process your membership and issue an email receipt
  • mail the cheque to:
    • Brookside Community Homeowner's Association
      c/o Treasurer
      177 Irisweg Drive
      Brookside, NS
      B3T 2L1

If dropping off a cheque:
  • make the cheque payable to Brookside Community Homeowner's Association
  • use the memo field to note that these funds are for your BCHA membership for 2016
  • ensure that your name, address, email address and phone number are with your cheque so that we can process your membership and issue an email receipt

Solid Waste Community Engagement Has Begun

Solid Waste Community Engagement has begun.
View this email in your browser
Let HRM Know What You Think
Hi BCHA,

Today, HRM began community engagement on the solid waste issue when they launched the online portion on the new engagement portal: http://shapeyourcityhalifax.ca.

As you may know, the Community Monitoring Committee has been opposed to the closure of the elements at the landfill facility that provide community and environmental protection to the local communities of Beechville, Lakeside, Timberlea and Prospect. In particular, Stantec recommended to HRM that they close the Front-end Processing Facility, the Waste Stabilization Facility, and reduce the liners in the landfill. Their vision is of a "truck and dump" system where there is no check on what is being brought to the landfill, it all just gets buried. That would include raw organics, recyclables, and hazardous wastes. Such a system would break provincial solid waste regulations and HRM's own written agreement with the local communities, signed when the landfill was established.

Further, HRM is considering increasing the height of the landfill so it can operate 23 years longer than originally planned. Otter Lake is scheduled to close 10 years from now. HRM is now considering keeping it open until 2046.

HRM is also considering building more waste management facilities at Otter Lake, including an outdoor compost curing pad for the immature compost coming out of the compost facilities in Goodwood and Burnside. That would mean that about 50,000 tonnes of organic material would be cured outdoors, only 3 kms from existing homes in Lakeside.

The Minister of the Environment has told HRM they will not be allowed to close these facilities that provide community and environmental protection. The Premier and the leaders of the Liberal and Conservatives have said they will not allow HRM to close these facilities. All members of the Legislature voted to ensure these facilities are kept open. The CMC has told HRM they have a contract with the local community that precludes them from closing the facilities. Yet senior staff and Council are considering trying to do exactly that.

It is your turn to speak up. Go to http://shapeyourcityhalifax.ca and tell HRM what you think about them reneging on a written agreement with the local community and turning the clock back on community and environmental protection. Get your friends, neighbours, colleagues and family members to do the same. In particular, please encourage your contacts in other parts of HRM to stand up for our community and support us online.

Also, while online, take a look at the consultation schedule. In particular, there are two Town Hall meetings on September 18th and 19th at Exhibition Park, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. We need your help in filling Exhibition Park to overflowing on both of those days. We need to send a strong, unified message to HRM that we will not allow them to renege on their agreement to provide community and environmental protection in return for having a landfill site.

Cheers,

Ken Donnelly, Consultant
Community Monitoring Committee

Five Bridges Wilderness Heritage Trust AGM

Hello Friends,
I am writing to invite you to the Annual General meeting of the FBWHT.  The Trust's AGM will take place on Thursday, March 21, 2013,  at 7:00 p.m. at the Hubley Community Center.
The Directors of the FBWHT are taking a new approach in this year's Annual General Meeting.  Following a brief business meeting, Tom Musial, Founding President of the FBWHT, will outline a plan under which a variety of volunteer organizations will work with Nova Scotia Environment to promote awareness, use, stewardship, and management of the Five Bridge Lakes Wilderness Area in areas relating to education, research, conservation, and recreation.  Following this introduction, Paul Schwartz, Manager, Regional Strategies and Program Initiatives for Nova Scotia Environment, will lead a facilitated discussion to help the FBWHT membership decide which of ten possible roles the Trust will play in this initiative.  The facilitated discussion will give the FBWHT Directors an opportunity to hear the thinking of the Trust's membership and chart an action plan for the organization to follow in the coming years.  
We encourage you to come out to the meeting to provide your input to the Board of Directors.  This will help the Trust choose what direction it will take in years to come.  Your opinion matters to us!  Reports and documents which will be reviewed and considered at the AGM will follow at a later date.
Sincerely,
Jill Pulsifer
Co-Chair, FBWHT
